1 ¶ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.

وَقَبلَ سِتَّةِ أيّامٍ مِنْ عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ، ذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إلَى بَيْتَ عَنْيا. وَهِيَ بَلْدَةُ لِعازَرَ الَّذِي أقامَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

2 T here they made him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those that sat at the table with him.

وَهُناكَ أعَدُّوا لَهُ عَشاءً، وَكانَتْ مَرْثا تُجَهِّزُ الطَّعامَ. وَكانَ لِعازَرُ أحَدَ المُتَّكِئِيْنَ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

3 T hen Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

أمّا مَرْيَمُ فَقَدْ أخَذَتْ قارُورَةً مِنَ العِطْرِ الثَّمِيْنِ المَصْنُوعِ مِنْ زَيْتِ نَباتِ النّاردِيْنِ النَّقِيِّ وَسَكَبَتْهُ عَلَى قَدَمَيْ يَسُوعَ، ثُمَّ نَشَّفَتْهُما بِشَعْرِها. فَامتَلأ البَيْتُ كُلُّهُ بِعَبِيْرِ العِطْرِ.

4 T hen said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who should betray him,

فَقالَ أحَدُ تَلامِيْذِ يَسُوعَ – وَهُوَ يَهُوذا الإسْخَرْيُوطِيِّ الَّذِي سَيَخُونُهُ:

5 W hy was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarius and given to the poor?

«لِماذا لَمْ يُبَعْ هَذا العِطْرُ بِمَبلَغٍ كَبِيْرٍ مِنَ المالِ يُعْطَى لِلفُقَراءِ؟»

6 T his he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag and would take from what was put therein.

وَلَمْ يَقُلْ يَهُوذا ذَلِكَ اهتِماماً مِنْهُ بِالفُقَراءِ، بَلْ لِأنَّهُ كانَ سارِقاً. كانَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَحتَفِظُ بِصُنْدُوقِ المالِ، وَكانَ يَختَلِسُ مِمّا يُوضَعُ فِيْهِ.

7 T herefore Jesus said, Let her alone; against the day of my burying she has kept this;

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «دَعُوها وَشَأْنَها! فَمِنَ الحَسَنِ أنَّها احتَفَظَتْ بِهَذا العِطْرِ لِهَذا اليَوْمِ، يَوْمِ الإعدادِ لِدَفْنِي.

8 f or the poor ye always have with you, but ye shall not always have me.

الفُقَراءُ سَيَكُونُونَ عِنْدَكُمْ دائِماً، أمّا أنا فَلَسْتُ مَعَكُمْ دائِماً.» التَّآمُرُ عَلَى لِعازَر

9 A great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came not only for Jesus’ sake, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

وَعَلِمَ جَمْعٌ كَبِيْرٌ مِنَ اليَهُودِ الَّذِيْنَ جاءُوا لِلاحتِفالِ بِالفِصْحِ أنَّ يَسُوعَ فِي بَيْتَ عَنْيا. فَجاءُوا لا مِنْ أجلِ يَسُوعَ فَقَط، بَلْ أيضاً لِكَيْ يَرَوا لِعازَرَ الَّذِي أقامَهُ يَسُوعُ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

10 S o the princes of the priests took counsel that they might also put Lazarus to death

وَلِهَذا بَدَأ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ يُخَطِّطُونَ لِقَتلِ لِعازَرَ أيضاً.

11 b ecause by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.

فَبِسَبَبِهِ كانَ كَثِيْرُونَ مِنَ اليَهُودِ يَتْرُكُونَ قادَتَهُمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِيَسُوعَ. يَسُوعُ يَدْخُلُ مَدِيْنَةَ القُدْس

12 ¶ On the next day the multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

وَفِي اليَوْمِ التّالِي سَمِعَ الجَمْعُ الكَبِيْرُ الَّذِي جاءَ إلَى عِيْدِ الفِصْحِ أنَّ يَسُوعَ قادِمٌ إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

13 t ook branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel.

فَحَمَلُوا أغصاناً مِنْ شَجَرِ النَّخلِ، وَخَرَجُوا لاسْتِقْبالِهِ. وَبَدَأُوا يَهْتِفُونَ: «يَعِيْشُ المَلِكُ! مُبارَكٌ هُوَ الآتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ. مُبارَكٌ مَلِكُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ!»

14 A nd Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat upon it, as it is written,

وَوَجَدَ يَسُوعُ حِماراً فَرَكِبَهُ كَما هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ:

15 F ear not, daughter of Sion; behold, thy King comes, sitting on an ass’s colt.

«لا تَخافِي أيَّتُها العَزِيزَةُ صِهْيَوْنُ، ها إنَّ مَلِكَكِ آتٍ راكِباً عَلَى حِمارٍ صَغِيْرٍ.»

16 H is disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things unto him.

وَلَمْ يَفْهَمِ التَّلامِيْذُ أوَّلَ الأمْرِ ما يَحْدُثُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ تَذَكَّرُوا بَعْدَ أنْ تَمَجَّدَ يَسُوعُ أنَّ هَذِهِ الأُمُورَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ عَنْهُ، وَأنَّهُمْ تَمَّمُوها لَهُ.

17 T he multitude, therefore, that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raised him from the dead, bore witness.

وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ عِندَما نادَى يَسُوعُ لِعازَرَ مِنَ القَبْرِ وَأقامَهُ مِنَ المَوْتِ. فَكانُوا يُخبِرُونَ الجَمِيعَ بِما حَدَثَ.

18 F or this cause the multitude also met him, for they had heard that he had done this sign.

لِذَلِكَ خَرَجَتْ جُمُوعُ النّاسِ لِلِقائِهِ، فَقَدْ سَمِعُوا أنَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ تِلْكَ المُعجِزَةَ.

19 T he Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

فَقالَ الفِرِّيْسِيُّونَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «انظُرُوا! إنَّ خِطَتَنا لا تُحَقِّقُ شَيْئاً، فَها هُوَ العالَمُ كُلُّهُ يَتْبَعُهُ!» الحَياةُ وَالمَوْت

20 ¶ And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast;

وَكانَ بَعضُ اليُونانِيِّيْنَ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ لِلعِبادَةِ فِي عِيدِ الفِصْحِ أيضاً.

21 t he same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Lord, we desire to see Jesus.

فَذَهَبُوا إلَى فِيلِبُّسَ، وَهُوَ مِنْ بَلْدَةِ بَيْتِ صَيْدا فِي إقلِيْمِ الجَلِيلِ، وَرَجُوهُ فَقالوا: «يا سَيِّدُ، نُرِيْدُ أنْ نَرَى يَسُوعَ.»

22 P hilip came and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

فَجاءَ فِيلِبُّسُ وَأخبَرَ أندراوُسَ. ثُمَّ جاءَ أندَراوُسُ وَفِيلِبُّسُ وَأخبَرا يَسُوعَ.

23 A nd Jesus answered them, saying, The hour comes in which the Son of man shall be clarified.

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «آنَ الأوانُ لِيَتَمَجَّدَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ.

24 V erily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.

أقُولُ الحَقَّ لَكُمْ: يَنبَغِي أنْ تَقَعَ حَبَّةُ القَمْحِ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَتَمُوتَ، وَإلّا فَإنَّها تَظَلُّ حَبَّةً وَحِيْدَةً. لَكِنَّها إنْ وَقَعَتْ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَماتَتْ، فَإنَّها تُنتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيْراً.

25 H e that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

مَنْ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَياتِهِ يَخسَرُها، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَتَعَلَّقُ بِحَياتِهِ فِي هَذا العالَمِ فَسَيَحفَظُها لِلحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ.

26 I f anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; the one that serves me, will my Father honour.

فَلْيَتبَعْنِي مَنْ يُرِيْدُ أنْ يَخدِمَنِي. وَحَيْثُ أكُونُ أنا، سَيَكُونُ خادِمِي أيضاً. إنْ كانَ أحَدٌ يَخدِمُنِي، فَسَيُكْرِمُهُ الآبُ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبئُ باقتِرابِ مَوْتِه

27 ¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this have I come in this hour.

«الآنَ تَتَضايَقُ نَفْسِي، فَماذا أقُولُ؟ أأقُولُ نَجِّنِي أيُّها الآبُ مِنْ ساعَةِ الألَمِ هَذِهِ؟ لَكِنِّي جِئْتُ مِنْ أجلِ هَذِهِ السّاعَةِ.

28 F ather, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again.

فَمَجِّدِ اسْمَكَ أيُّها الآبُ.» فَجاءَ مِنَ السَّماءِ صَوْتٌ يَقُولُ: «لَقَدْ مَجَّدْتُهُ، وَسَأُمَجِّدُهُ أيضاً.»

29 T he people, therefore, that were present and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spoke to him.

وَكانَ هُناكَ جَمْعٌ مِنَ النّاسِ، فَسَمِعُوا الصَّوْتَ، وَقالَ بَعضُهُمْ: «هَذا صَوْتُ الرَّعْدِ.» وَقالَ آخَرُونَ: «بَلْ كَلَّمَهُ مَلاكٌ!»

30 J esus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

فَأجابَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «لَمْ يَأْتِ هَذا الصَّوْتُ مِنْ أجلِي أنا، بَلْ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ أنتُمْ.

31 N ow is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

الآنَ هُوَ وَقْتُ الحُكْمِ عَلَى هَذا العالَمِ. الآنَ سَيُطْرَدُ حاكِمُ هَذا العالَمِ خارِجاً.

32 A nd I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

وَإذا رُفِعْتُ عَنِ الأرْضِ، سَأجذِبُ الجَمِيعَ إلَيَّ.»

33 T his he said, signifying what death he should die.

قالَ هَذا مُشِيْراً إلَى المِيْتَةِ الَّتِي سَيَمُوتُها.

34 T he people answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou, It is expedient that the Son of man be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

فَقالَ لَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ: «لَقَدْ سَمِعْنا مِنَ الشَّرِيْعَةِ أنَّ المَسِيْحَ سَيَبْقَى إلَى الأبَدِ، فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُ إنَّهُ يَنبَغِي لابْنِ الإنسانِ أنْ يُرْفَعَ؟ إذاً أيُّ ابْنِ إنسانٍ هَذا؟»

35 T hen Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the Light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you; for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes.

فَقالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «سَيَبْقَى النُّورُ مَعْكُمْ زَماناً قَصِيْراً بَعْدُ، فَسِيْرُوا مادامَ النُّورُ مَعْكُمْ، وَقَبلَ أنْ تُدرِكَكُمُ الظُّلْمَةُ. لِأنَّ السّائِرَ فِي الظُّلمَةِ لا يَعلَمُ إلَى أيْنَ يَتَّجِهُ.

36 W hile ye have the Light, believe in the Light that ye may be the sons of light. Jesus spoke these things and departed and hid himself from them.

آمِنُوا بِالنُّورِ مادامَ مَعَكُمْ، فَتَصِيْرُوا أولادَ النُّورِ.» قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا وَمَضَى وَتَوارَىْ عَنْهُمْ. اليَهُودُ يُرْفُضُونَ أنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِيَسُوع

37 ¶ But although he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,

صَنَعَ يَسُوعُ كُلَّ هَذِهِ المُعجِزاتِ أمامَهُمْ. لَكِنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَرفُضُونَ أنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ.

38 t hat the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who shall believe our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

فَصَحَّ فِيْهِمْ قَولُ النَّبِيِّ إشَعْياءَ: «يا رَبُّ، مَنِ الَّذِي صَدَّقَ رِسالَتَنا، وَلِمَنْ أُظهِرَتْ قُوَّةُ الرَّبِّ ؟»

39 T herefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِإمكانِهِمْ أنْ يُؤمِنُوا، فَإشَعْياءُ قالَ أيضاً:

40 H e has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.

«قَدْ أعمَى اللهُ عُيُونَهُمْ، وَقَسَّى قُلُوبَهُمْ. فَلا يَقدِرُونَ أنْ يُبصِرُوا بِعُيُونِهِمْ، وَلا أنْ يَفهَمُوا بِقُلُوبِهِمْ، لِكَيلا يَرجِعُوا إلَيَّ فَأُشْفِيْهِمْ.»

41 I saiah said these things when he saw his glory and spoke of him.

قالَ إشَعْياءُ هَذا لِأنَّهُ رَأى مَجدَ يَسُوعَ وَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ.

42 ¶ Nevertheless, even among the princes many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ، كانَ هُناكَ كَثِيْرُونَ قَدْ آمَنُوا بِهِ مِنْ قادَةِ اليَهُودِ. لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُجاهِرُوا بِإيْمانِهِمْ خَوفاً مِنَ الفِرِّيْسِيِّيْنَ، لِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَخافُونَ أنْ يُحرَمُوا مِنْ دُخُولِ المَجمَعِ.

43 f or they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

فَقَدْ كانُوا يُحِبُّونَ إكرامَ النّاسِ لَهُمْ أكثَرَ مِنْ إكرامِ اللهِ. تَعلِيْمُ يَسُوعَ سَيَحكُمُ عَلَى العالَم

44 ¶ But Jesus cried and said, He that believes in me, believes not in me, but in him that sent me,

وَقالَ يَسُوعُ بِصَوتٍ مُرتَفِعٍ: «مَنْ يُؤمِنُ بِي، فَإنَّهُ لا يُؤمِنُ بِي أنا، بَلْ يُؤمِنُ بِذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

45 a nd he that sees me sees him that sent me.

وَمَنْ يَرانِي يَرَى ذاكَ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي.

46 I am come as a light into the world that whosoever believes in me should not abide in darkness.

لَقَدْ جِئْتُ نُوراً لِلعالَمِ، فَكُلُّ مَنْ يُؤمِنُ بِي لا يَبْقَى فِي الظَّلمَةِ.

47 A nd if anyone hears my words and believes not, I judge him not, for I came not to judge the world but to save the world.

إنْ سَمِعَ أحَدٌ كَلامِي وَلَمْ يُطِعْهُ، فَإنِّي لا أحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ. فَأنا لَمْ آتِ لِكَي أحكُمَ عَلَى العالَمِ، بَلْ جِئْتُ لِأُخَلِّصَ العالَمَ.

48 H e that rejects me and does not receive my words has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

وَمَنْ يَرفُضُنِي وَيَرفُضُ أنْ يَقبَلَ كَلامِي، فَهُناكَ ما يَحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ: الرِّسالَةُ الَّتِي عَلَّمْتُها هِيَ الَّتِي سَتَحكُمُ عَلَيْهِ فِي اليَوْمِ الأخِيْرِ.

49 F or I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.

فَأنا لَمْ أتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ عِندِي، بَلِ الآبُ نَفسُهُ الَّذِي أرسَلَنِي هُوَ الَّذِي أوصانِي بِما أقُولُ وَبِما أتَكَلَّمُ.

50 A nd I know that his commandment is eternal life; whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

وَأنا أعلَمُ أنَّ وَصِيَّتَهُ تُؤَدِّي إلَى الحَياةِ الأبَدِيَّةِ. فَما أتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ الآنَ، إنَّما أتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ كَما تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الآبُ إلَيَّ.»
